UK guests at Dubai resort can claim back cost of Covid test

UK guests who stay five nights or more at Atlantis, The Palm in Dubai can the claim back the cost of their departure Covid test.

This means that for a PCR test that costs £150 in the UK, guests will receive the equivalent amount back to spend in the resort including food and drink, spa or marine and waterpark experiences.

All travellers from the UK are required to conduct a PCR test before arriving into the UAE and the in-resort credit is available until April 30.

All PCR tests must have been taken from any registered private clinic in the UK and Ireland. NHS tests will not be accepted.

Timothy Kelly, executive vice president and managing director, said: “We are continuously evolving to meet the needs of our customers during this challenging time.

“As guests from the UK no longer need a PCR test to return home, we would like to continue to make their travels easier by giving back the cost of their UK departure PCR test to spend on a range of amazing in-resort activities and experiences.

“We hope this will continue to reduce any travel inconveniences and encourage more British guests to visit Dubai’s premier entertainment destination.”

Kelly added: “We look forward to our guests relishing every moment of their time spent at Atlantis, The Palm as we strive to implement innovative ways to welcome them in a socially responsible way.

“To further ensure this, Atlantis, The Palm has been granted the internationally certified safeguard label by Bureau Veritas as well as issued the safety seal of approval by the Dubai government – the Dubai Assured stamp.

“This demonstrates to guests that the entire resort, including all of our rooms, restaurants, attractions and retail outlets, follows the strictest safety measures and protocols to ensure their health and wellbeing.”
